Albany,n.y.

It's just you. 1+1=2, but somehow you think it may =1.23456789. She bought the gun, there was gunshot residue on her hands only, she talked of suicide, her life was a mess, she had been orphaned, possibly by murder, in Iran-which may have led to her instability. It usually is what it is & nothing more, here it's definitely murder suicide. Next you'll be telling us Michael Jackson is alive & living on a desert island, soon to be joined by his kids.

I tried it & it worked fine. Unfortunately, the fares are $116 each way from Albany to Buffalo & they send the passengers to Baltimore 1st. I had to pass. Flights from Albany to other places in NY, other than JFK, seem to go through Baltimore-negating any benefits flying has. I once looked up flying to Islip and between the early arrival at the airport, going down to Baltimore, then going to Islip & arriving without a car, it was a ton easier just driving down there. Meanwhile, out in California, I'm able to fly from Oakland to LA on a Sunday for $69-nonstop! Also when I fly Southwest from Albany -Oakland or LA, I have to stop in either Chicago or Las Vegas. Southwest out of Albany is nothing special unless you're going to Baltimore, Chicago or Las Vegas.

I don't know where this land is located (and with the OP being ieatcrayonz, I'm skeptical of the post's validity) but if it's real, and the same rules apply as in NYS, you can't dry wetlands out & use them. http://www.dec.ny.gov/regs/13337.html

Sarah Palin did everone a big favor today-she ended Michael Jackson's reign as lead story on all the cable news channels.

Why don't the Giants do the fiscally sound thing-sign JP Losman to replace Manning. A couple of years ago many people on this board were insisting than Losman was better than Manning-they couldn't all have been wrong.

The best ending to a reality tv show involved this topic. The show was Average Joe. So this woman chooses the good looking guy over the Average Joe, then she tells him she used to be Fabio's girlfriend. The second he hears this, he says he's out of there & it's over. She picked the guy who couldn't handle it the minute he heard she used to date Fabio.

They knew a lot more about their QBs than they were letting on.

When the Dolphins hired Cam Cameron, I said "one & done" & even correctly predicted the Dolphins to go 1-15 (about the only team I got right in 2007). There are very few chances to confidently predict a coach will be a total bust, but I think McDaniels is a pretty safe bet to go "2 & done" at most and probably more like a season & a few games, since Denver won't be bad enough to win 1 game. He may be smarter, but this guy has Hank Bullough written all over him. He's already PO'd his franchise QB enough to lose him before ever coaching a game.

Michael Jackson's will indicates that he will not be buried. It clearly states that his final wish is to be mounted & stuffed by a young boy.

Ralph is a lot more optimistic about his longevity than a lot of people on this board

Screw the PC bunch: Jackson & Sharpton hated Billy Mays ever since Michael Jackson went to take a bubble bath & poured Oxyclean in the tub by mistake...you know what happened by the time Michael got out of the tub.

She's had recurring roles on Cold Case & Lost

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090625/ap_on_...rt_strip_search Thomas warned that the majority's decision could backfire. "Redding would not have been the first person to conceal pills in her undergarments," he said. "Nor will she be the last after today's decision, which announces the safest place to secrete contraband in school."

Don't be. If any muni doesn't get their sales tax, they'll raise fees & property taxes a lot more than you'll spend on sales tax.

Unfortunately, their inaction may cause New Yorkers' taxes to go go up quite a bit. They aren't acting on things that local governments at the County, Town & Village levels fund. As a result the municipalities will raise our local taxes.

Today the Governor, who has the power to make them attend a special session & nothing else, demanded the State Senate hold a special session. The idiots broke into party factions, yelled & screamed & got nothing done. They should all be thrown out of office. http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories/story...?storyID=813062 Senate impasse leads to chaotic dueling sessions Sparring continues over leadership By CASEY SEILER , RICK KARLIN , IRENE JAY LIU AND JIM ODATO, Capitol bureau Last updated: 5:28 p.m., Tuesday, June 23, 2009 ALBANY -- The battle for the state Senate approached the realm of the surreal this afternoon as Democrats and Republicans held what amounted to parallel sessions in the same chamber.

Outside of the 1st half of the Cleveland game, there is no evidence that Trent played scared in any other game. Tell us the games he played scared in & how you drew that conclusion. He looked real scared against KC & Denver on the road

There's really no comparison. At the time Parcells signed Pennington the Dolphins had McCown, Henne(a rookie with no NFL experience) & Beck as their top 3 QBs. Pennington was a huge upgrade. When JP became available he already had Pennington, who won him the division & Henne, who showed a lot of potential in pre-season last year. Why would Parcells, who is on the record as not thinking much of JP to begin with, be a barometer on JP? I agree with the arm strength statement, JP vs Trent in the coaching staff's opinion vs the JP supporters on this board says it all. The NFL's view of JP as a guy who isn't an NFL QB can be summed up by looking at the fact that no team showed enough interest to sign him. A 4 team 6 game league is light years from the NFL. They'll be lucky to be as good as the last Arenaball season in terms of talent. 4 retread NFL coaches don't make the players NFL caliber. JP may light it up this year in Las Vegas & still never play another down in the NFL.

According to this editorial, it's fixed for this year: http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories/story...ategory=OPINION " Ticket to scalp First published in print: Friday, June 19, 2009 Regrettably, Gov. David Paterson has signed a bill that largely continues New York's official endorsement of ticket scalping and the sky's-the-limit market it has fostered." Here in Albany, the paper is against the extension with no clue how it affects football in Buffalo, nor do I think they care.

Graduated Fredonia 34 years ago-Makes me feel old just typing that. I hung around a year after I graduated because I just didn't want to leave & face the real world. Back then, if you had a student ID you could get into The Caboose for free, otherwise you had to pay a cover charge. The 1st week or so of the new semester I was still able to use my expired ID. Then they asked me where my current ID was & I had to admit I graduated the previous year. No more free admission. Poor kids today-I can't imagine going to Downtown Fredonia as a student with a 21 drinking age.

These were my itineraries during the Super Bowl years: Tampa Bay-Arrived in Orlando Thursday night, drove to Tampa/St Petersburg Friday, drove back to Orlando Monday, flew home Tuesday morning. Minnesota-Arrived in Minneapolis Friday, left Monday (Travel USA) Pasadena-Arrived in LA Saturday morning, left Tuesday Atlanta-Arrived in Atlanta Friday, left Monday (Travel USA) As you can see, the 2 times I used an agency it was Fri-Mon. The ideal situation is to have the day before the game to sightsee the town the game is played in. There are also things like our jobs & getting time off for those who work. It is a lot more convienient to get in Friday & spend Saturday around town than getting in Friday knowing the game is the next day. When we went to LA, we spent Saturday at Disneyland & did the rest of LA on Monday.

He might end up in Las Vegas & beat out JP.

The way QB ratings are made, not including key pocket awareness things like sacks, it is quite possible for a QB with a rating of 86.0 to have a great season while a QB with an 84.9 rating could truly suck. Lets look at 3 QBs from the 1986 season: JP Losman had the 84.9 rating was sacked 47 times and lost 7 fumbles (13 total), the Bills were 7-9 & one season later he was the backup, 3 years later he's out of the NFL, headed for a league with 4 teams that has never played a game yet. David Carr had an 82.1 rating, got sacked 41 times and lost 7 fumbles (12 total), the Texans were 6-10 & Carr GOT WAIVED after the season. 3 years later the guy is a career backup and was let go 2 times in 2 years (after 1986 & 1987) Tom Brady had an 87.9 rating, got sacked 26 times and lost 4 fumbles (12 total), the Patriots were 12-4, came within one half of going to the Super Bowl & the next season Brady went 16-0 & was the league's MVP. 3 years later, he's a sure 1st ballot Hall of Famer and is the starting QB on one of the teams picked to go all the way. So, 3 QBs with ratings within 5.8 points from top to bottom in the same season had very different seasons & very different careers. The guy with the 87.9 rating is a Hall of Famer-who was in the prime of his career when he was only 3 points higher than JP Losman a guy who lost his starting job in the next season & is now a signature away from exile in the UFL. The guy 2.8 points lower than Losman has been cut twice, including after the featured season and is viewed as nothing more than a backup. QB RATINGS ARE GARBAGE! Fans who rely on QB ratings to judge anything are living in that trash pile.

A couple of weeks ago, when the scalping law expired & went back to the old standard of about a couple of bucks over face being the only legal way to resell tickets, I didn't question whether the state lawmakers would get the job done & reinstate the freedom to resell tickets. Now with the lunacy going on here in Albany, it might be a while until any bills get passed. So, without the state acting on this, I think there's a good chance that at best, ticket exchange transactions will be delayed, if not outright unavailable this season.

No one ON THE BUFFALO BILLS COACHING STAFF ever considered Reich over Kelly. To paraphrase what Marv used to say: When you start listening to what the fans want you to do, you end up sitting with them.
